Children of the Rainforest: Shaping the Future in Amazonia (Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies)

Children of the Rainforest is a groundbreaking ethnographic account that delves into the lives of Matses children growing up in a time of radical change in Amazonia.

Through vivid drawings and photographs taken by the children themselves, this book traces their journeys - both real and imagined - from their unique perspectives.

Morelli's work recognizes the powerful catalysts of social change that children's imaginations, play, and shifting desires represent.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Indigenous childhood and the ways in which children shape their communities.
